UMIP Launches National Infrastructure Identity Registry for 160 Million U.S. Structures
SHERIDAN, WYOMING - April 14, 2026 - UMIP Inc. has begun issuing Persistent Infrastructure Identities (PIIDs) through its national infrastructure registry, marking the operational launch of a framework designed to assign permanent, verifiable digital identifiers to physical buildings and infrastructure assets. The initial issuance covers approximately 160 million addressable structures across the United States. The launch targets a structural data gap in which infrastructure lifecycle records-spanning construction, operations, maintenance, and ownership transfers-currently have no single persistent reference point connecting them across decades of activity, leaving asset histories fragmented across multiple organizations and platforms.
